presta will never replace schrader. it's much more fiddly and the only advantages are that it's narrower and you can get it to higher pressure with a lovely hand-pump, both of which are basically only relevant for bikes

I tired googling this and found people testing schrader valves up to several thousand PSI successfully. I think its really just for rim width of road bikes.

i guess if you wanted to be super autistic about it, you could argue that the mass of a schrader stem is larger and so theres more wheel unbalancing effect. But no, 70% of presta usage is to be able to sniff and say, oh, no, I need to get my adapter out to refill with this proletariat air station at the shell

A narrow road tire will have not have space between the tire beads to fit a schrader so actually its impossible to use one and you're not good at bikes.

road bicycle is an oxymoron

I'm shocked that a thread about technical standards ending up in an autistic slap fight (which I won p.s by being the most technically correct).
